AI in Gardening Takes Center Stage at Chelsea Flower Show 2025 with the Avanade Intelligent Garden

The future of gardening is blooming at the Chelsea Flower Show 2025, where artificial intelligence is stepping into the spotlight. This year, one of the most talked-about attractions is the Avanade Intelligent Garden, a pioneering showcase of how AI in gardening is transforming the way we grow, nurture, and understand our green spaces.

Designed by Tom Massey in collaboration with Je Ahn, the garden is more than just a feast for the eyes—it’s a fully responsive ecosystem. Using a network of advanced sensors placed in the soil and attached to plants, this smart garden collects live data on everything from soil moisture and temperature to air quality and light levels. All of this information is fed into an AI-powered system that supports the gardening team in making real-time decisions for plant health and sustainability.

What makes this garden truly unique is its interactive experience. Visitors can engage with the garden through a digital twin—asking it questions like “How are you feeling?” or “What do you need?” and receiving answers based on actual environmental data. This kind of intelligent interaction offers a glimpse into the future of AI-driven gardening, where technology and nature work hand in hand.

The Avanade Intelligent Garden also emphasizes eco-conscious design, featuring a pavilion built from biodegradable mycelium panels—a sustainable choice that complements the garden’s high-tech heart.

Whether you’re a tech enthusiast, a seasoned gardener, or simply curious about smart gardens, this exhibit at the Chelsea Flower Show 2025 shows how innovation can create more sustainable, responsive, and resilient urban green spaces.
